We're fitting a new cooker switch for a range cooker as the old one was incorrectly wired and in a ridiculous place.
I've been advise that this needs to be at least 30cm to either the left or the right of the range hob for safety reasons.
My question is, is this correct?
Could I not just put it 20 cm to the left, but higher up the wall?
I only ask because at the moment it would mean that it would end up behind the fridge, which kind of makes the whole thing pointless in case of fire etc!
Hope I've explained myself correctly
